In Q1 of the Spanish GP, the Ducati of Morbido suddenly lost oil, forcing the Italian-Brazilian to be eliminated from the second part of Qualifying.

The Jerez stewards deemed Morbidelli’s behavior irresponsible, as it could have caused serious accidents, with riders looking for the lap that was worth Q2 on an already damp track.
